Training 

The Initial Training Program, which includes the "Owner/Operator Module," must be completed before the studio opens. This training is free for individuals attending before the studio's opening, provided they attend simultaneously. However, if additional individuals wish to attend the program at a different time or if a third-party individual is designated as a manager, a training fee may be charged by the franchisor.

RH University Program

The RH University Program is a proprietary training designed to offer instructors additional guidelines and instructions for delivering approved services according to the System. This program can be conducted virtually through live or prerecorded modules.

Ongoing/Refresher and Additional Training

Franchisees and certain management personnel are required to attend up to five days of additional or refresher training annually. There is no fee for this mandatory training. However, if specific training is requested by the franchisee or if the franchisor provides on-site training at the franchisee's studio, the franchisor may charge its current training fee.

Costs and Expenses

Franchisees are responsible for all costs and expenses, including travel-related expenses, incurred by themselves or their personnel for attending or participating in any training program. The franchisor does not cover these costs.

Territory Protection

The franchise offers territory protection within specific parameters, although it is not exclusive. The franchisor retains certain rights that could influence the franchisee's use of the territory. Potential franchisees must thoroughly understand these terms and how they may impact their business operations.

Additionally, the franchisor may grant rights to other franchisees or operate competing businesses within the protected territory under certain conditions. This can include establishing company-owned studios or granting rights to third parties. Prospective franchisees should carefully review the franchise agreement to fully grasp the extent of their territorial rights and any potential limitations.
